Water is Hamburg’s unifying element. The shores of the Outer Alster Lake with its many well-kept green spaces are centres of attraction for young and old. The adjacent parts of the city are among Hamburg’s most sought-after residential areas. Rotherbaum, international known through the tennis tournaments held there, is also the site of the University of Hamburg and North German Broadcasting (NDR). Today Harvestehude still features the upper-class flair of the turn-of-the-century architectural elegance.The popular Isemarkt, Europe’s longest weekly market, extends from here to the Hoheluft district, which is divided into an east and west part and still frequently features Wilhelminian style architecture. Urban life takes place on pulsating shopping streets in Eppendorf, slightly away from the Alster. The presence of superb international gastronomy in addition to extensive, multifaceted cultural and recreational offers is a common factor in all these districts of the Elbe metropolis.In the best locations for you - your able estate agent in Hamburg-Alster-West will be happy to advise you!
